Christian Worker Fired for Using Judge’s Utensils | Strong Reaction in Senate Over Discrimination

In a recent incident at the Lahore High Court's Judges Rest House, a Christian waiter, Samuel Sandhu, along with three other staff members, faced disciplinary actions for allegedly using crockery designated exclusively for judges. While the other employees received minor penalties, Sandhu was issued a final show-cause notice for dismissal, citing 'misconduct'—a charge he denies.

This incident has sparked widespread outrage, highlighting concerns over discriminatory practices and the treatment of minority communities in Pakistan. Critics argue that the severe action against Sandhu, compared to the leniency shown to his colleagues, reflects systemic biases.

The matter was brought to the Senate, where lawmakers expressed deep concern over the apparent injustice and called for a thorough review of the disciplinary measures. Human rights organizations have also demanded transparency and equal treatment for all citizens, regardless of their religious affiliations.

This case underscores the pressing need to address institutional discrimination and ensure that all individuals are treated with fairness and dignity.
